Grey Hunter posted:Or do you mean, what time should I be getting up? in which case studies how that is very much a person to person - as is the amount of sleep a person needs to function. Night owls and Early birds are both biologically sound concepts, (I'm a 4am starter, but thats the only quiet time I get to do my LP's) but timings are person by person, so anyone trying to sell a perfect sleep cycle is a opinionated fool. I was actually wondering about both, thank you for telling me!

Jedit posted:It's possible, but you don't do it by whacking stevia and xylitol in the boiler. I believe it's more of a simulated fudge than a conversion of the recipe and process. I’ll do some research and see what can be done. Bear in mind my equipment consists of a few pans, a spatula and a thermometer- Fudjit is based from my home, rather than any sort of site with industrial or advanced equipment.

I can't really think of anything low carb with a fudgelike consistency though. They're all starch or sugar based.

Wasn't the crux of India agreeing to a new trade deal with the UK post-Brexit, that the UK would offer up a larger number of work/study visas? That didn't get much attention at the time because whoo-boy that wouldn't have gone down well with the Leave crowd

Lard is just pure fat, yes. Which I guess technically makes it low carb.

So what exactly is achieved by having 600+ people in one big room that couldn't be done remotely? Other than braying "hrurrhrurrhrurr!" over the Opposition speakers during Prime Minister's Questions. Has there ever been a case where an MP was so swayed by another's oratory that they changed their mind and voted the opposite way to what they'd already intended/been told to by the whips?

josh04 posted:Gap in the market for nut-free turkish delight, imo. Does it normally have nuts in? I admit I don't actually like turkish delight because I don't like the rose flavour, but I do like the texture and I like those jelly sweets you can get with the same consistency, though they're often a bit overpowering with the synthesized flavourings. I might be tempted to try making my own with like, a natural lemon juice flavour or something. It looks easier than I thought. I do wish they made nougat without nuts though, the chewy stuff is nice but the only nut I like is almonds and even then only sometimes.

Guavanaut posted:The big question, which nobody seemed to want to have a serious discussion about on the electoral stage, was whether free movement is a socially positive form or immigration, or whether it's just a way for capital to move workers around who are less likely to be aware of their rights and can't vote locally. It comes down to trust. Ordinary British workers are people who like their country, are at best live and let live to minority groups and who generally expect the government they vote for to represent their interests. They will never trust a person who tells them that actually they are less important than other people. I suspect that literally no country’s population would vote to support strangers over themselves. This is probably where we ITT have drifted away from the British people. Objectively speaking we are right. But if we can’t get a majority behind us, who cares that we are right?

My Nan used to give me those as a kid. They sometimes seemed to have some weird long, thin, pointy thing inside them. Like someone had pushed a needle into the middle of the bar but it was edible and just felt terrifying in your mouth for a moment. Ones I've bought myself on the odd occasion since I was a kid have never caused the same sensation and sometimes I wonder if my Nan was just feeding me sewing needles in chocolate for shits and giggles.
